Board and bindings decision

hey i am thinking about getting the shane with shane bindings and i am wondering if thats what i should get

what year shanes are you gettin?

if money isnt a problem id go w/ the 07 shane board.
w/ bindings the 06 shanes arent tht great. mainly cause of the closed toe and when you land in flats or take a hard landing it can jam ur toes kinda bad.
07 shanes ive never ridin but w/ the board id def go w/ the 07 shane, and a binding idea would be the sphynx, they are so comfy and soak up real hard landings.

2007 probably

yeah then go w/ the 07 shane board. its aweosme and i think the graphics kick @$$! w/ the 07 shane bindings again i havnt had any experience but i hear they are preety good that is if ya get open toe not closed.

awesome thanks should i go open or closed limited

no prob.

id def go w/ open unless you want jammed toes every time you land hard. but yeah go w/ open limited.

I've never head of anyone jamming their toes, personally my next set of bindings will be closed toe. I haven't heard anything bad about them. All I hear is they are warm, comfy, easy to get on, and some say give you better control. So if it were me I'd go closed toe.

I say try em on and see what you like

If the binding fits properly you shouldn't be jamming your toes.

Open vs. Closed basically boils down to which you like the look of better, whether or not one performs better is still up in the air

I couldn't agree more. I've been riding closed toe boots, and haven't jammed my toes.

awesome i think i will go with the closed toe then

thts just my personal experiences. also a couple of my friends hve done the same as me, jammin their toes. but its like i said its only when you hit real hard.

but yeah it kinda does come down to looks i guess

i like my closed toes more than the open toes, but thats just my personal preference. i've never jammed my toes, and they definetely keep my toes warmer in this nice 40 degree water we've been riding in up here in Wisconsin. But all this aside, i really dont see much of a difference between the two. I agree thats its all up to preference, and what look ur diggin.

I ride the 06 shane setup (board and bindings). I have never jammed my toes. In fact my foot never moves at all. I wear a size 10 shoe so i got the size 9-10. They fit perfect, not to big not to small. If you go close toe try and get them a little small but where they are still comfy.

I think people that jam their toes are ridding bindings that are to big for them.

yea good choice with goin with closed ive never jammed my toes and i take a lot of tricks into the flats.

Everyone has their own "opinions" on the open toed vs. closed toe. Go to your local dealer and see if you can demo each pair and see which you like better. I have never tried the close toe so I cant say how they ride, but I do have to say they look kind of funny. Again this is my opinion. But I would try both out before you buy them. if you are spending $700-$800 on a setup make sure it is what "you" want.

Yea i agree with Jay.

The reason i went closed toe was because i got tired of my feet going out the front of my open toes and ripping up my binding. I think this is why people think that you will jam your toes in closed toe, but like i said earlier my feet dont move (front or out the top).

yeah i bet what i prob did was size too big maybe i dunno.

yea who started this whole jamming your feet in close toe thing. Its seriously ridiculous because this has never happened to anyone i know

I have '06 murrays, so theyre close toe, and its not toe jammin, its cuttin real hard on my toes; sometimes the toes go in the water and take away speed and my board pops out of the water!

otherwise i really like the murrays and the close toe or open toe thing wouldnt effect me buyin bindings, its the side to side movement in the murrays that i like.
